Coal Tar Production

It is heavier than water. It "hardly dissolves" in water, "all or almost all" is soluble in benzene or nitrobenzene (Budavari 1989). According to EPA 1994 and IARC 1985, CCT contains approximately 10,000 compounds consisting of 48% hydrocarbons, 42% carbon and 10% water. The chemical composition of coal tar depends on the distillation temperature (IARC Monogr Eval Carcinog Risk Chem Hum. High levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are present in coal tar at high temperature (1000 to 1300 ° C.) and low temperature (400 to 700 ° C.) coal tar contains large amounts of phenol and tar acid .

9 Coal tar distillation: Coal tar pitch is a concentrated black liquid derived from coal tar after coal tar distillation. It can be used as a base for paints and paints, roofing and paving, and as a binder in asphalt products. Both coal tar and coal tar pitch contain many compounds including carcinogens such as benzene. Human exposure to coal tar may be absorbed by inhalation, ingestion and absorption through the skin. General residents may be exposed to coal tar containing environmental pollutants.

Regarding the problem of coal tar fertilizer, I am very interested in seeing that the explanation of "UK" of coal tar fertilizer is currently prohibited by the EU. I have heard of this, but coal tar is prohibited only when used in over-the-counter products like pure form like hull and now well-known light-coal tar soap known as light It seems to be done. Traditional soap is "coal tar flavor". However, for people who are suffering from illness such as dandruff, coal tar shampoo seems to be still available.

Located in the residential and commercial area along the East River, former manufacturing facilities in Long Island City, New York, use coal tar as the main waterproofing material. Coal tar - benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, naphthalene - major hazardous chemicals contaminate soil and groundwater
